It was my understanding that the active players graph shows each faction's player count stacked on top of each other, but recently we keep seeing things like this:


Hoping for either a clarification on what the graph actually shows or a fix to the graph.

The graph is rough information, to give a ballpark of relative population at relative times.

Basically, so you can see "hey, there are more people on now than there were at 4am".

It is not intended to be a paragon of precision. As far as I can see, it is serving its intended purpose just fine.

We didn't write the graphing software, nor am I interested in trying to fix bugs in it. It is what it is.

Fair enough, thx for the reply.

Ohh wait i see wut it means each graph is overlayed ontop of each other to compact it into 1 graph. Now it makes sense. For example there might be 30itani. 65serco and 75 uit (where that graph looks like serco go into minus numbers).
God i hate reading graphs.

No, anewold, the 0-mark of UIT is the top of the itani. That graph does appear to show a negative serco value, but as Incarnate said, It is not intended to be a paragon of precision and <guild software> didn't write the graphing software, nor am I interested in trying to fix bugs in it.
